Five perspectives on sustainable packaging

Striving for the most sustainable packaging is a worthy ambition, but it can be complex. Sustainable packaging involves far more than simply changing or reducing the amount of packaging material used. What does this entail, and where do you begin? The "Five perspectives on sustainable packaging" model offers insights to broaden your perspective.

R-strategies

When looking to make a product-packaging combination more sustainable, you can employ various sustainability strategies. By following these so-called R-strategies, you learn to consider factors such as material selection, the usage phase, and the optimal end-of-life stage. The ultimate goal is to minimize environmental impact and achieve a circular economy for packaging materials.

Packaging collection, sorting, and recycling

You can significantly influence recyclability during the packaging design process—a concept known as "design-for-recycling." This is one of the factors to consider when working on sustainable packaging. To make informed choices, it helps to understand how packaging is collected, sorted, and recycled after use.
